Chomsky on “The New War Against Terror”. Last night, I attended a talk by Noam Chomsky titled “The New War Against Terror” (the “old” war, Chomsky reminds us, began 20 years ago when the incoming Reagan administration stated that the fight against international terrorism would form the core of its foreign policy). The lecture was educational, expectedly incendiary, and thought provoking, and is something that everyone–Chomsky haters and admirers alike–should hear. Long. 2:25:09 PM |

abunimah multipage: A simple phonecall verifies helicopter parts as Chinook. I understand why the US would simply deny that anything bad has happened, but this does look somewhat odd. Leftovers from the 80s? 1:49:29 PM |
